    Over all this ball is a decent buy for the money. While it won't compete with higher end balls offered by Ebonite and other manufacturers it does make a decent entry level ball for a beginner or someone on a budget. It rolls razor straight and then snaps hard. That makes it possible to play an outside shot or to play deeper and more angular to the pocket. Speed is the key with this ball if you vary at all you will pay for it with splits most of which won't be easily coverted.

I think I am going to polish this ball a little more to see if I can get more length. But the only thing that I didn't like was the fact that this ball only has 8 games on it and it is starting track out. Maybe it’s because it's a wooden house. But I sho
